  3. Totally agreed: Obama is less dangerous when on the golf course.

    It’s the same with congress; I prefer it when they are gridlocked or on recess.

  4. I’d agree with newrouter. Even if he spends more time on the golf course, he’ll still sign off on whatever monstrosities Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid dream up and manage to ram through the House and Senate.

  5. With Obama, I don’t know that time on the gold course spares the country much. His track record of salesmanship is awful. Indeed, it’s not out of the question that Democrats would rather he stay on the golf course and off the TV, since it could be they’d do better if he didn’t try to be Salesman in Chief.

  6. I will take one for the team and keep him out on the links. Any money I win will go back to the Treasury, whence it came.

  7. The One, the half of one (Biden), the entire Congress, and perpetual snow-days for the DC bureaucrats will make America safe for the taxpayer.

  9. Another reason to permanently put the President out on the holes, Sotomayor shows off her judicial acumen.

    The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold part of Jeff Skilling’s appeal — a federal judge’s decision to keep the former Enron CEO’s criminal trial in Houston — is hardly a surprise to most legal observers.

    “Courts are hesitant to override a trial judge’s venue decision,” said Thaddeus Hoffmeister, a professor at the University of Dayton’s School of Law.

    But the dissenting opinion on the issue by Justice Sonia Sotomayor was less predictable. It echoed many of the arguments of Skilling’s defense team, including the impact of the company’s 2001 collapse on Houston, the “relentless” local media coverage and the relatively speedy jury selection process before the 2005 trial.

    “That surprises me,” said David Crump, a professor at the University of Houston Law Center, of Sotomayor’s dissent. “She was a prosecutor, so I would have thought she had a better understanding of those issues.”

  10. Sotomayor understands the issues fine. She is what she is. She lied to the committee about who she is. This is why we should fight Kagan tooth and nail.

  11. That’s what I nver understood about the Hive (particularly its comedic/agitprop division) always ridiculing Reagan for his naps. If they thought him such an awful president, shouldn’t they have preferred him taking even longer and more frequent naps? Every additional hour Reagan napped was another hour he wasn’t doing bad things like, you know, working for a freer society.

  12. This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.
    – Will Rogers

    In Rogers’ day, it was Congress. Today, it’s all of government that makes us uneasy.
